The fight against Insurgency is stopping anytime soon. Alot of law enforcement agencies officers have lost their lives through this fight. As Nigerians, we must ensure we don’t give up and keep fighting. We won’t allow them take over country. If it’s possible to volunteer as becoming local vigilantes, we should also volunteer to do it. Our security is everyone’s priority.

The police who we put our trust in to ostensibly protect us were also invaded and killed at their own station. These unidentified gunmen are growing without bounds. God help us, this country is no more safe.

Attacking the security personnel in charge of the country’s security has shown us that security of this country has gotten so worse…. I think the gunmen just passed an important message across to us. We should depend on God and be very watchful.. likewise our security should be everyone’s priority.

The situation of this country is critical, so even police station is getting attacked. This situation is just funny because it feels like those protecting us even need to be protected.

How did these attackers get the automatic weapons that they used… Dangerous weapons like that are only meant to be at the hands of the military personnel.

May the souls of the Police men we lost rest in perfect peace, and I hope the government will remunerate their families because they have lost their bread winners.

This is pathetic military personnel are just dieing anyhow. This country is already drifting towards anarchy. Very soon if government continue to compromise with the terrorist and not fish out the sponsor of Boko Haram, killer Fulani herdsmen, Bandits and ISWAP; the government should be blame for the collapse of the country.

The the news above is a prove that the security apparatus of the country is in shambles and needed urgent attention. The compromised military personnel amongst the military should be fished out and eliminated.
